Activities vary by level, contact Mindy Schwartz for more details. ENC Nature Preschool Scholarship ProgramĪre you looking for a fun way to engage your scouts with nature while stuck at home? Join one of our ENC naturalists for a distance-learning scout program via Zoom! We’ll introduce them to one of our animal ambassadors, conduct an at home nature scavenger hunt, and use dramatic play to plan the perfect camping trip.It seems like that would be information overload and I am not sure how much the girls would absorb. The Journey In a Day seems overwhelming as a leader and for the girls. I do think some changes need to be made so they are more age appropriate. I have zero experience with anything other than the Journeys so I cannot compare them to what was done prior to the Journeys. Luckily for our troop, we will start the Garden Journey in late winter / early spring and the church I attend has decided to start a community garden so all of our plants, worms and possibly Labybugs will be donated to the community garden. The Flower Garden journey also seems to be more hands on for the girls and I feel will hold their attention more. It also seems like the meetings are more coherent versus 3 Cheers for Animals which at times to me, feels disjointed. I feel like Welcome to the Daisy Flower Garden journey is a bit more age appropriate. We are also going to take a tour of our local animal shelter and then to earn our Red Robin Award the girls are going to collect supplies to be donated to the animal shelter. I started tweaking things so they were more appropriate for my girls and I cut the amount of meetings in half. As an adult I was overwhelmed just reading the leader’s guide! Almost half of the Journey is planning to earn the Red Robin Award. The leader guide suggests taking a whopping 10 meetings to complete this Journey. After digging through the leader guide I was simply amazed at what was expected for this age level. I was able to find a copy on Amazon though.

In fact, it was out of stock and the lead time for shipping was 6 weeks. We were told the 3 Cheers for Animals Journey was “the one to do”. We are going to complete the 3 Cheers for Animals and Welcome to the Daisy Flower Garden. This year, we decided to wade into the Journey badges. The first year we focused on earning the petals. This is my second year as a Daisy troop leader. Have you done a Journey in a day? Did you plan it or attend a Council event?

When searching for resources for you, the events often came up at the top of the list.

Of course, before you make any plans on your own, check your Council’s website to see what they are offering for a Journey in a Day. Then you can pick and choose what you want to do! Since it is so popular, I have decided to place all of the Girl Scout Journey in a Day resources for you in one place. Leaders who need to do a Journey but dislike the program have flocked to this concept. The bottom line for me is if it this program is so important, why can it be done in a day? What have you learned in a day that was absorbed completely? I followed it up last year with a post about Councils and leaders having a Journey in a Day program. My most commented on blog post in the past 6.5 years has been about the Journeys program ( you can read it here). From the time I first looked at the Daisy Journey book when my troop started in kindergarten, my experienced teacher self thought, “This is age inappropriate!”. If you have read this blog for any length of time, then you know that I have never been a fan of the Girl Scout Journeys program.
